What the care home does well

The people living at Hawkstone House said that they get the care and support they need and that they like living there. There is a warm, homely and lively atmosphere in the home with staff and people living at the home appearing to work together as a team. The staff team are well trained and were seen to be providing assistance to people in a manner which promotes independence and dignity. People living at the home said that the staff are "great" and relationships between them were seen to be relaxed and friendly. The home is well managed and the manager is committed to ensuring that people living at the home, and the staff, contribute to the decision making processes. A good relationship exists with fellow health care professionals. This was confirmed by comments made in the surveys. One health care professional said that they "couldn`t think of anything" the care service could improve.People living at the home are protected by the recruitment procedures in the home which ensures that all the necessary checks are carried out before staff are employed. The home is well maintained throughout and furnished and fitted to a good standard. People living at the home are encouraged to personalise their own rooms and they are obviously very proud of their personal possessions. People living at the home live active and varied lives and are very much part of the local community and make use of a wide range of social and recreational facilities.

What has improved since the last inspection?

Since the last inspection, the acting manager has submitted an application to be registered by the Commission for Social Care Inspection. The application process is almost complete.

What the care home could do better:

There is a programme of National Vocational Training (NVQ) in the home but only three members of staff hold the NVQ level 2 in care. In order to provide a consistent standard of care to the people living in the home, a minimum of 50% of the care staff must be qualified to NVQ level 2. The systems for handling any `when required` medication must be improved to make sure that all medication is given safely.

During this visit a full tour of the building was undertaken, records were examined and I spoke to management, staff and the people living at the home. In addition to this visit, comment cards were sent out to give people an opportunity to share their views of the service with CSCI. Three people living at the home returned their surveys and three health care professionals also responded. The last inspection of Hawkstone House was on 1 December 2006, no additional visits have been made. An Annual Quality Assurance Assessment (AQAA) completed by the home was returned promptly and gave useful information. I would like to thank everybody for their warm welcome and assistance given during this inspection.

Prospective service users have the information they need to make an informed choice about where to live. Prospective users’ individual aspirations and needs are assessed. Prospective service users know that the home that they will choose will meet their needs and aspirations. Prospective service users have an opportunity to visit and to “test drive” the home. Each service user has an individual written contract or statement of terms and conditions with the home. The Commission consider Standard 2 the key standard to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 1,2,4,5 People who use the service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to the service. People’s needs are assessed before moving into the home and they are provided with written information about the services and facilities provided. EVIDENCE: The home has produced a Statement of Purpose and Service User Guide which details the services and facilities provided by the home. This document is now available in an audio format to meet the communication needs of the people living at the home. The audio tape is at present produced in the English language, however, it is planned to make it available in Punjabi as well. All people have an individual statement of terms and conditions, a copy of which is held on file and in their rooms. The weekly charge is subject to an individual assessment of need. All people are fully assessed prior to admission to make sure that the home can meet their needs. People are encouraged to visit the home several times before moving in to give them an opportunity to meet the staff and other people living at the home, and to sample the daily routine. The surveys received from health care professionals all said that the care service’s Hawkstone House DS0000064324.V342717.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 assessment arrangements ensured that accurate information is gathered and that the right service is planned and given to individuals.

People are fully involved in all aspects of daily life within the home and are encouraged and enabled to be as independent as possible. EVIDENCE: Six care records of people living at the home were looked at and were found to contain very detailed and holistic assessments. A ‘know me, understand me and support me’ document is completed in conjunction with the people living at the home. This document contains details of people’s abilities, likes and dislikes, interests and family history. Completion of this document, which is kept by people in their own rooms, forms the basis for the individual’s care plan. Hawkstone House DS0000064324.V342717.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 One of the care plans seen was for a person with specific cultural needs, the needs were identified and the care plan gave clear information as to what action needs to be taken to ensure that these needs are met. Another care plan contained comprehensive details of strategies to be taken for dealing with a person’s challenging behaviours. One of the health care professionals said in their survey that the home “responds imaginatively to the challenges put before them by my service user. They defuse difficult situations to avoid conflict”. Detailed risk assessments are in place which are reviewed on a regular basis, this makes sure that risks are minimised and people are kept safe. People living at the home are encouraged to participate in the day to day running of the home and join in all activities of daily living. Staff and everybody living at the home appeared to be working together as a team. Regular house meetings influence the way the home is run. Minutes of these meetings are taken by a person living at the home so if anybody isn’t able to attend they know what was discussed and what decisions were made. People said that they liked living at the home and said that they are able to choose what to do everyday.

All personal care is given in private, and people were seen to be treated with dignity at all times. One of the health care professionals made the following comment in response to the question ‘Does the care service provided respect individuals’ privacy and dignity’: “Yes, I have certainly seen this in action, and from several members of staff and at different times”. Hawkstone House DS0000064324.V342717.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 A recognised health care monitoring document, the ‘OK Health Check’, is completed for everybody living at the home and a health action plan completed.

Stocks of PRN (when required) medication were also checked. There are detailed guidelines held on when to administer the PRN medication. The medication is also securely and appropriately stored. The ‘when required’ medication for one person living at the home was looked at. The stock of medication held was Paracetamol for occasional pain relief. A record was held of when the medication had been administrated and of the total number of tablets remaining. There was an error between the number of tablets held and the total recorded. There were more tablets than the running total indicated there should be. In addition to the discrepancy regarding the number of tablets held, there were two different types of tablet in the same box. Some were in tablet formulation and some were capsules. All medication must be administered from the original container as dispensed by the pharmacist to make sure that medication is given safely. Nobody currently living at the home handles their own medication.

The speed in response and the willingness to provide and disseminate information has been of a particular high standard. The way the manager and her team have succeeded in supporting what could have been a potentially difficult placement should be applauded”. “My service user has a history of rejection and failure and I think that the staff (led by the manager) manage to care for him regardless of the challenges he throws their way”. “I have found the manager and her team to be positive and accessible throughout the joint work we have done in transferring a client from our service to Hawkstone House.
